The decision was made to overclad the blocks using Soltherm Ultimate HD Silicone system with DecoBrick W HD render.

Soltherm Ultimate Silicone EWI system is a BBA approved external wall insulation system incorporating Dual Density Mineral Wool (DDMW) with a silicone render finish, designed to increase a building’s thermal efficiency & weather resistance.

The client wanted to achieve a modern and contemporary look, whilst improving thermal efficiency. Therefore, a unique brick effect render finish with various thickness feature pods on the façade was selected.

The aim was to reduce heating costs for tenants that in turn will help to reduce any that are in fuel poverty, whilst improving the appearance of the properties.

Installing Soltherm’s Ultimate HD Silicone A2,S1,d0 fire rated system with incorporating varying thicknesses of mineral wool to achieve projections within the elevation has created a modern contemporary look to the façade by utilising both silicone render and brick effect finishes. Using 100mm DDMW (Dual Density Mineral Wool) meeting minimum 0.30W/m2K along with 120mm to 230mm (various thicknesses) has reduced heating costs and therefore CO2 emissions and achieved an EPC rating of C.
